- A perfectly competitive firm produces the level of output at which MR=MC on the rising portion of the firm’s marginal cost curve. At that output level, it has the following costs and revenues: TC = $830,000 VC = $525,000 TR = $428,000 At that optimal level of output, what profit (loss) does the firm earn?A perfectly competitive firm faces the short-run cost schedule shown in Table (a)Calculate average total cost (ATC=TC/Q), marginal cost (MC=ATC/AQ) and marginal revenue (MR-ATR/AQ) for each level of output. The price per unit of output is £16 b) Plot ATC, MC and MR on a graph and mark the profit-maximising output. At what output is profit maximised? c) How much profit/loss is made at the optimum level of output? Assume market price declines to £9 per unit. If the firm's average variable cost is £9.5, should the firm shut down in the short run? In the long run? Explain. If the firm is typical of other firms, what price will it charge in the long run? Explain.Assume that a firm in a perfectly competitive industry has the following total cost schedule:OUTPUT (UNITS) TOTAL COST ($) 10 110 15 150 20 180 25 225 30 300 35 385 40 480a. Calculate a marginal cost and an average cost schedule for the firm. b. If the prevailing market price is $17 per unit, how many units will be produced and sold? What are profits per unit? What are total profits? c. Is the industry in long-run equilibrium at this price?
